Can anyone tell me weather I should download the signed or not signed version for my HTC HD2 running Android from SD card (MDJ FroYo HDV4.6)

I already Uninstalled the maps that came with the ROM with Titanium Backup and Installed from Market..

So, if I was like to uninstall the maps that I got from Market, do I need to reboot the phone before installing this .apk?

So, what should I do next? It would be great if I can see a step-by-step tutorial

Hi All,

The post says that it can be installed on un rooted devices but I tried on my SGS2 without any success. It says that it will replace the previous version, I click on yes but then I get a reply that it is not installed.

May I request the geeks to help me install on my SGS2 as the installed version has no navigation in my area. Bundle of thanks.

Then I used root explorer to navigate to system\app and delete maps and street view applications.

Then I tried to install given apk. but it didn't work.

Then I copied given apk to system\app

Easy way to Disable Google MAPS??

Hey All,

Google Maps is indispensable but appears to be a real battery drain on my device and from what i also see in various forum discussions. When I try and kill Google Maps it in Task Manager it never goes away.

Is there some way to disable this application when I am not using it (Which is 99% of the time) without having to freeze it in Juice Defender?

4. Install Google Maps 5.x ownhere-resign.apk

5. Go to market, and reinstall street view"

I could be wrong, but I think Google servers don't like me. I get the !#$%@$ "Data connection lost" message when getting driving directions. It's been 4 days I'm searching the web to no avail.

I'm on maps 5.9.0 ownhere version using HTC Sensation 4g roaming around Dubai in the Middle East. The same issue happens using my other Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. And, yes, it happens for both cellular and wi-fi connections even though I have full strength signal. Obviously, the stock maps that was removed did not allow navigation around Dubai.

Is Google blocking certain geographic locations based on IP filtering maybe?

What other ways can you install this without rooted phone. Tried installing but no luck. Damn.
[Android Apps and Games] ctrl-[:
You probably have a read-only /system even though you may have a rooted device. If that's the case then you need to temporarily remount as read-write, place the apk file in /system/app, then modify its permissions to rw-r-r (owner read-write, group and others as read-only). Then, reboot.

This can be done using adb method or manually using a terminal. It's easier if you search for your device-specific instructions on how to install system apk files.
[Android Apps and Games] ctrl-[:
Somewhere, there's a version of 5.8.0 that can be installed without rooting along the existing system maps application.

[Android Apps and Games] programatix:
Please note that sometimes uninstalling system apps using Titanium will require a reboot before you can re-install. If it prompt you that it will be replacing an installed app during re-install, this indicate that you need to reboot. After that continue following the instruction.

But normally this is what I normally do:

Delete \system\app\maps.apk using Root Explorer (or any File Manager has root access)

Reboot

Copy new unsigned map apk to \system\app using Root Explorer (or any File Manager has root access)

or if you install Darky Tool (can be used in any rom with root)

Copy new unsigned map apk to \sdcard\Darky\uninstalled\sys

Start Darky Tool

Go to "Uninstall" tab an tap on maps.apk to uninstall

Go to "Install" tab an tap on the new unsigned map apk to install

Once this is done, if there is any new maps update, just install the new signed maps apk and it would replace the unsigned maps apk properly.

Just to clarify to whoever may need it.

AGPS

Assisted GPS, 'assisted' by some file (ephemeris data) injected into the GPS chipset, downloaded over internet, but, the only thing this file helps the GPS to do is to acquire a fix faster. A lot faster. It is valid for approximately one week. Even when this file is inaccessible or out of date, you can still use the GPS normally. The fix times are going to be much longer, though.

Google Maps offline use - general

As far as i know, the only "offline use" Google Maps allows is the use of it's cached data offline. You can pre-cache a piece of map (10x10 miles size) by long tapping at the center of the map, selecting the address bubble, and tapping "pre-cache map data" inside. Stared locations are also seem to be cached and displayed on the map in the later versions.

Google Maps offline use - navigation

As far as i know, Google Navigation is able to continue navigating on the cached data when the connection is lost, yet you won't be able to start the navigation without being online, even if the entire region you are navigating through is already cached. Again, as far as i know, there is no way too do any kind of offline searches inside the cached data. If someone can prove me wrong here, i'll be happy to stand corrected :)
